The new 2011 Standard Catalog of World Coins 2001-Date 5th edition is now available! We just got our review copy a few days ago, but the catalog is already posted on our www.shopnumismaster.com website for sale at a special introductory price.

New issues editor, George Cuhaj, added a massive number of new types and dates for this 5th edition. Mint websites were scoured, live auction sites were consulted, special new issue sales sites were tapped and the 5th edition has increased by nearly 100 pages over the 4th edition. That's a 20% increase and represents a huge number of new coin listings.

The cover price is $40, but the special introductory sale price is only $28, so grab your copy today!
